It feels more natural to have the scrollbar on the right. I'm 
right-handed. If I flick through paper, I'll use the right-hand side of 
the paper to flick through. Ditto for most physical devices; having 
controls on the right-hand side is easier for me.

Ditto for resizing windows, closing windows, floating toolbars and 
probably other things if I think hard enough. If it were a real physical 
pen-and-paper desktop, all my tools would be near my right hand.

Apologies to all lefties. Perhaps we could make an option that mirrored 
all the UI components for left-handed people? :-P.
